This has no connection to Linux as far as I know, but as usual ......Who knows?
Quite a good number of weeks ago I found that Google maps had a facility for viewing "Real Estate" for sale. It was not only on "/maps.google.co.uk/" but also on "/maps.google.com/" (this latter listing property in very many countries). Suddenly a couple of days ago this facility just disappeared. All other functions seem to work as well before.

Is there anyone in Linux Format land who can shed any light on this. Was it just an experimental thing?
